I’m Tayyaba Akbar, a fashion design graduate and Gold Medalist focused on womenswear, with a strong blend of creative concept development and technical design. I enjoy turning research and mood-board ideas into original silhouettes, prints, and surface treatments, then building the full garment through pattern making, draping, and garment construction. I’ve developed complete collections and experimental garment concepts—from creating fashion illustrations, technical flats, and tech packs to producing final garments and photography. Based in Stockholm, I’m excited to bring my skills in womenswear collection development, textile and surface experimentation, and Procreate to new design opportunities in Sweden.…I’m Tayyaba Akbar, a fashion design graduate and Gold Medalist focused on womenswear, with a strong blend of creative concept development and technical design.
